More specifically, the first receiving portion 44a is provided at a position located on one side of the locking protrusion 39 on the inner peripheral surface of the locking receiving support portion 25 (on the left side in FIG. 2B). Projecting toward the rotating shaft 28 (shaft hole 36 side), on the other side (right side in FIG. 2 (b)) of the locking projection 39 on the inner peripheral surface of the locking receiving support 25. The second receiving portion 44 b is projected from the position where the second receiving portion 44 b faces the rotation shaft 28 (shaft hole 36 side), and the locking projection 39 is positioned between the pair of locking receiving portions 44. In addition, the distance between the first receiving portion 44a and the second receiving portion 44b is set to be sufficiently wider than the width (left-right width) of the locking projection 39 in the swinging direction, so that the locking projection 39 is engaged with the locking receiving portion. It is possible to swing between 44 in the lateral direction (left-right direction).

  Then, as shown in FIGS. 2B, 4A, and 4B, the stop restricting mechanism 23 swings the swinging portion 35 around the rotation shaft 28, so that the locking projection 39 is moved to the first position. When converted into a state of locking to the first receiving portion 44a (first locking state), the bottom surface of the housing empty portion 37 is moved from the second receiving portion 44b side to the first receiving portion 44a side (right side in FIG. 4A). And a posture in which the lower end of the accommodation hollow portion 37 is inclined toward the first receiving portion 44a side (left side in FIG. 4A) with respect to the rotation shaft 28. 38 is moved to be positioned at the inclined lower end of the accommodation space 37. Then, the bottom part that defines the inclined lower end of the accommodation empty part 37 is pressed against the second receiving part 44b side (right side in FIG. 4A) by the weight of the weight member 38, and the weight member 38 (and thus the stop regulating mechanism 23). The urging rotational moment Mg is generated around the rotating shaft 28 so as to move the center of gravity of the rotating shaft 28 directly below the rotating shaft 28. Further, the oscillating portion 35 is urged in the first rotation direction R1 (counterclockwise in FIG. 4A) by the urging rotational moment Mg to press the locking projection 39 to the first receiving portion 44a. The locked state (first locked state) between the locking projection 39 and the first receiving portion 44a is maintained.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the swinging portion 35 swings around the rotation shaft 28 and the locking projection 39 is locked to the second receiving portion 44b (second state). When converted to the locked state, the accommodation empty portion 37 is inclined downward from the first receiving portion 44a side to the second receiving portion 44b side (from the left side to the right side in FIG. 7A), and the accommodation empty portion. The inclined lower end of the portion 37 is positioned on the second receiving portion 44b side (the right side in FIG. 7A) with respect to the rotation shaft 28, and the weight member 38 is moved to be positioned at the inclined lower end of the housing empty portion 37. Let Then, the bottom part that defines the inclined lower end of the accommodation empty part 37 is pressed to the first receiving part 44a side (left side in FIG. 7A) by the weight of the weight member 38, and the weight member 38 (and thus the stop regulating mechanism 23). The urging rotational moment Mg is generated around the rotating shaft 28 so as to move the center of gravity of the rotating shaft 28 directly below the rotating shaft 28. Further, the urging portion 35 is urged in the second rotational direction R2 (clockwise in FIG. 7A) by the urging rotational moment Mg to press the locking projection 39 to the second receiving portion 44b. The locked state (second locked state) between the locking projection 39 and the second receiving portion 44b is maintained.

  When the stop restricting mechanism 23 is maintained in the first locking state or the second locking state, the ball flow down conversion member 15 applies an attractive force between the restriction-side magnetic body 41 and the conversion-side magnetic body 31 in each locking state. By acting, any one of the ball guiding portions 29 is positioned in front of the locking protrusion 39, and the stopping posture of the conversion rotating portion 22 and the stopping posture of the ball guiding portion 29 are regulated. Specifically, when the stop restricting mechanism 23 is maintained in the first locked state, as shown in FIG. 4A, the two ball guiding portions 29 (the first guiding portion 29a and the second guiding portion 29b) are rotated. The first guide portion 29a is located on one side of the rotating shaft 28 (on the left side in FIG. 4A), facing the upward direction of the ball flow conversion member 15 in a state of being located on both the left and right sides of the moving shaft 28. Is inclined downward from the first receiving portion 44a side, in other words, from the surrounding frame body 6 side (left side in FIG. 4 (a)) toward the rotating shaft 28 side. Further, the second guide portion 29b located on the other side of the rotation shaft 28 (right side in FIG. 4A) is moved from the rotation shaft 28 side to the second receiving portion 44b side, in other words, the ball flow down conversion member. 15 is extended laterally toward the opposite side of the surrounding frame body 6 (right side in FIG. 4A), and the rotation of the conversion rotating unit 22 is stopped in this stop position (first stop position). To regulate.

  Further, when the stop restricting mechanism 23 is maintained in the second locked state, as shown in FIG. 7A, the two ball guiding portions 29 (the first guiding portion 29 a and the second guiding portion 29 b) are moved to the rotation shaft 28. The first guide portion 29a is directed from the rotating shaft 28 side to the surrounding frame body 6 side (the left side in FIG. 7 (a)). Extend in landscape orientation. Further, the second guide portion 29b is located on the second receiving portion 44b side, in other words, from the side opposite to the surrounding frame body 6 (right side in FIG. 7 (a)) across the spherical flow lowering conversion member 15 side. The conversion rotation unit 22 is restricted from rotating in this stop posture (second stop posture).

  Next, operation | movement of the spherical flow down conversion member 15 which has an above-described structure is demonstrated. The ball flow down conversion member 15 maintains the stop regulating mechanism 23 (swinging portion 35) in the first locked state in advance and maintains the conversion rotating portion 22 in the first stop posture. (See FIG. 4). Further, the rotational moment generated around the rotation shaft 28 by the pressing force (impact) received by the ball guiding portion 29 from the game ball is referred to as a pressing rotation moment Mp, and the frictional force between the rotation shaft 28 and the shaft hole 36 or the conversion side. A rotational moment generated around the rotation shaft 28 against the pressing rotational moment Mp by the attractive force of the magnetic body 31 and the regulating-side magnetic body 41 is referred to as a resistance rotational moment Mr. The biasing rotation moment Mg is set to be smaller than the resistance rotation moment Mr so that the swinging portion 35 can rotate together with the conversion rotating portion 22 against the biasing force by the weight member 38. And

  When a game ball launched from a launching device (not shown) jumps into the game area 5 and flows down, and hits the ball guiding part 29 of the conversion rotating part 22 from above, the ball flow down conversion member 15 becomes a game. The ball guiding unit 29 is pressed by the sphere, and based on the strength of the pressing force, the conversion rotating unit 22 is rotated or the game ball is moved onto the ball guiding unit 29 without rotating the conversion rotating unit 22. Or roll it. More specifically, when the game ball hits the first guide portion 29a and the pressing rotation moment Mp is less than the resistance rotation moment Mr and acts in the first rotation direction R1, the conversion rotation The part 22 remains in the first stop posture and the stop restriction mechanism 23 remains in the first locking state. As a result, the game ball is rolled from the first guide portion 29a to the second guide portion 29b, and the flow direction of the game ball is changed from the downward direction to the lateral direction (the direction of moving away from the surrounding frame 6 to the side). It guide | induces to convert (refer Fig.4 (a)).

  Further, when the pressing rotation moment Mp is larger than the resistance rotation moment Mr and acts in the first rotation direction R1, as shown in FIG. 5, the stop restricting mechanism 23 remains in the first locked state. In this state, the conversion rotation portion 22 is rotated in the first rotation direction R1 against the frictional force between the rotation shaft 28 and the shaft hole 36. Then, the game ball is not guided on the ball guiding portion 29, and the flow direction of the game ball is maintained downward and is allowed to flow downward of the ball flow conversion member 15. Then, when the rotation force of the conversion rotation part 22 is weakened by the frictional force between the rotation shaft 28 and the shaft hole 36 and any one of the conversion side magnetic bodies 31 approaches the restriction side magnetic body 41 in this state, the conversion side By applying an attractive force between the magnetic body 31 and the regulation-side magnetic body 41, the conversion rotating portion 22 is converted back to the first stop posture.

  On the other hand, when the game ball hits the second guide portion 29b and the pressing rotation moment Mp acts in the second rotation direction R2 with a magnitude equal to or smaller than the biasing rotation moment Mg, the ball flow down conversion member 15 Maintains the first stop posture without rotating the conversion rotation unit 22 and the first restriction mechanism 23 is locked by the biasing force based on the weight of the weight member 38 (in other words, the biasing rotation moment Mg). Keep in state. However, when the pressing rotation moment Mp is larger than the biasing rotation moment Mg and acts in the second rotation direction R2, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the conversion rotation unit 22 is rotated in the second rotation direction R2, and the swinging portion 35 is rotated together with the conversion rotation portion 22 in the second rotation direction R2. Specifically, the turning force generated by the ball guiding portion 29 by the contact with the game ball is transmitted from the rotation shaft 28 to the swinging portion 35, or between the conversion side magnetic body 31 and the restriction side magnetic body 41. The swinging portion 35 is swung around the rotation shaft 28 in the second rotation direction R2 by applying a suction force. Then, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the locking protrusion 39 is locked to the second receiving portion 44b to be converted to the second locking state, and the accommodation empty portion 37 is changed to the first receiving portion. The weight member 38 is inclined downward from the 44a side to the second receiving portion 44b side, and the weight member 38 is moved from one side to the other inside the accommodation empty portion 37 (from the first receiving portion 44a side to the second receiving portion 44b side). The swinging portion 35 is urged by its own weight to maintain the locking state (second locking state) between the locking protrusion 39 and the second receiving portion 44b. Further, the attractive force continues to act between the conversion-side magnetic body 31 and the restriction-side magnetic body 41, and the stop posture of the conversion rotating portion 22 and the stop posture of the ball guiding portion 29 are restricted by the second stop posture.

  Then, in a state where the stop restricting mechanism 23 is converted to the second locking state and the conversion rotating portion 22 is restricted in the second stop posture, the game ball hits the second guide portion 29b and is pressed. When the rotational moment Mp is less than the resistance rotational moment Mr and acts in the second rotational direction R2, as shown in FIG. 8, the conversion rotational portion 22 is maintained in the second stop posture and stopped. The restriction mechanism 23 is maintained in the second locked state. As a result, the game ball is rolled from the second guide portion 29b to the first guide portion 29a, and the flow direction of the game ball is changed from the downward direction to the lateral direction (the direction approaching the enclosure frame 6 from the side). Guide the game ball to convert.

  Further, when the pressing rotation moment Mp is larger than the resistance rotation moment Mr and acts in the second rotation direction R2, the stop restricting mechanism 23 is maintained in the second locked state as shown in FIG. In this state, the conversion rotation portion 22 is rotated in the second rotation direction R2 against the frictional force between the rotation shaft 28 and the shaft hole 36. Then, the game ball is not guided on the ball guiding portion 29, and the flow direction of the game ball is maintained downward and is allowed to flow downward of the ball flow conversion member 15. Then, when the rotation force of the conversion rotation part 22 is weakened by the frictional force between the rotation shaft 28 and the shaft hole 36 and any one of the conversion side magnetic bodies 31 approaches the restriction side magnetic body 41 in this state, the conversion side By applying an attractive force between the magnetic body 31 and the regulation-side magnetic body 41, the conversion rotating portion 22 is converted back to the second stop posture.

  Further, when the game ball hits the first guide portion 29a in the second locked state, and the pressing rotation moment Mp is less than the biasing rotation moment Mg and acts in the first rotation direction R1. The ball flow down conversion member 15 maintains the second stop posture without rotating the conversion rotation unit 22, and the stop restriction mechanism 23 is moved by the biasing force (the biasing rotation moment Mg) based on the weight of the weight member 38. Leave in the second locked state. However, when the pressing rotation moment Mp is greater than the biasing rotation moment Mg and acts in the first rotation direction R1, the conversion rotation portion 22 is rotated in the first rotation direction R1, and further Rotates the swinging part 35 together with the conversion turning part 22 in the first turning direction R1. Specifically, the turning force generated by the ball guiding portion 29 by the contact with the game ball is transmitted from the rotation shaft 28 to the swinging portion 35, or between the conversion side magnetic body 31 and the restriction side magnetic body 41. The swinging portion 35 is swung around the rotation shaft 28 in the first rotation direction R1 by applying a suction force. And as shown to Fig.4 (a) and (b), while engaging the latching protrusion 39 to the 1st receiving part 44a and converting into a 1st latching state, the accommodation empty part 37 is made into the 2nd receiving part. The weight member 38 is inclined downward from the 44b side to the first receiving portion 44a side, and the weight member 38 is moved from the other side in the accommodation empty portion 37 to the one side (from the second receiving portion 44b side to the first receiving portion 44a side). The swinging portion 35 is urged by its own weight, and the locked state (first locked state) between the locking projection 39 and the first receiving portion 44a is maintained. Further, the attractive force continues to act between the conversion-side magnetic body 31 and the restriction-side magnetic body 41, and the stop posture of the conversion rotating portion 22 and the stop posture of the ball guiding portion 29 are restricted by the first stop posture.

  In this way, the ball flow down conversion member 15 can change the state of the stop regulating mechanism 23 using the impact (pressing force) generated when the game ball hits the ball guiding portion 29. Further, in the first locking state in which the locking projection 39 and the first receiving portion 44a are locked, the conversion rotating portion 22 is regulated to stop in the first stop posture, and the locking projection 39 and the second receiving portion are stopped. In the second locking state in which the portion 44b is locked, the conversion rotating portion 22 is regulated to stop in the second stop posture. Then, the stop posture of the ball guiding unit 29 in the first stop posture is different from the stop posture of the ball guide unit 29 in the second stop posture, and the game ball is guided to approach the surrounding frame body 6 in the first stop posture. In the second stop posture, the game ball is guided away from the surrounding frame 6 so that the guidance direction of the game ball by the ball guide unit 29 can be changed. Accordingly, the setting of the flow direction of the game ball guided by the ball flow conversion member 15 can be changed using the force transmitted by the game ball that has hit the ball guide portion 29, and the ball flow conversion member 15 can be changed. It is possible to change the flow-down mode of the contacted game ball. This allows the player to appreciate the complex behavior of the game ball and improve the interest of the game. Further, even if the conversion rotation unit 22 is easily stopped in the stop posture, it is possible to avoid that the game ball easily comes into contact with only the specific ball guide unit 29, and the ball guide unit 29 receives an impact from the game ball. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the inconvenience of being easily damaged.

  By the way, in the said embodiment, although the position of the latching receiving part 44 was made unchangeable, this invention is not limited to this. For example, the ball flow conversion member 15 of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 10 is basically the same as the configuration of the first embodiment, but the position of the latch receiving portion 44 is shifted around the rotation shaft 28. It is different in that it can be changed. More specifically, the ball flow conversion member 15 according to the second embodiment is provided with a lock receiving portion that allows the position of the lock receiving portion 44 to be changed to the stop restricting mechanism 23 side (rear side) of the conversion member base portion 21. A position changing mechanism 50 is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 10A, the lock receiving position changing mechanism 50 includes a lock receiving support portion 25 that supports the lock receiving portion 44 so as to be detachable from the conversion member base portion 21. The 25 conversion member base 21 side is closed with a disc-shaped lid 25 a so that the lid 25 a can be brought into contact with the back surface of the conversion member base 21. In addition, an insertion hole 52 through which the rotation shaft 28 can be inserted is formed at a position overlapping the bearing hole 26 of the conversion member base portion 21 in the lid portion 25a, and the insertion hole 52 (the rotation shaft 28) is the center. Thus, the latch receiving support portion 25 and the latch receiving portion 44 can be rotated together. Further, a locking receiving positioning portion 53 is provided between the conversion member base portion 21 and the locking receiving support portion 25, and the locking receiving support portion 25 is locked to the conversion member base portion 21 to lock the locking receiving portion 44. Can be positioned.

  As shown in FIG. 10A, a plurality of (eight in this embodiment) positionings of the locking receiving positioning portion 53 are provided near the outer periphery of the front surface of the lid portion 25a (front surface facing the conversion member base portion 21). The protrusion 54 protrudes from the position shifted by the same phase around the rotation shaft 28 (insertion hole 52) (position shifted by 45 degrees in this embodiment) toward the front conversion member base 21 side. An annular flange portion 55 projects outward from the outer peripheral edge of the lid portion 25a. Further, as shown in FIG. 10B, a plurality (eight in this embodiment) of positioning receiving portions 57 into which positioning protrusions 54 are fitted in a tightly fitted state are provided on the back surface of the conversion member base portion 21. Around the rotation shaft 28 (bearing hole 26), it is formed to be recessed at a position shifted by the same phase (position shifted by 45 degrees in this embodiment). Further, an arcuate flange receiving groove portion 58 into which the flange portion 55 is loosely fitted is provided below the positioning receiving portion 57 in the back surface of the conversion member base portion 21. The longitudinal width of the shaft 28 along the axial direction) is set wider than the protruding length of the positioning protrusion 54.

  In order to assemble the ball flow conversion member 15 provided with the lock receiving position changing mechanism 50 having such a configuration, first, the lock receiving support portion 25 is placed on the back surface side of the conversion member base portion 21 and the cover portion 25a is the conversion member base. It arrange | positions with the attitude | position which faced the part 21 side, the conversion member base part 21 and the latching receiving support part 25 are brought close in this state, and the flange part 55 is loosely fitted to the flange receiving groove part 58. FIG. Then, the locking receiving support portion 25 is rotated along the flange receiving groove 58 with the flange 55, and the locking receiving portion 44 is set in a desired posture (see FIG. 11A). If the posture of the latch receiving portion 44 is set, the latch receiving support portion 25 is pressed against the back surface of the conversion member base portion 21 in this state, and the positioning projection 54 is fitted to the positioning receiving portion 57 to lock and receive the support. The portion 25 is assembled to the conversion member base portion 21, the locking receiving portion 44 is positioned, and the insertion hole 52 and the bearing hole 26 are communicated. Further, in the posture in which the ball guiding portion 29 is positioned closer to the converting member base portion 21 than the guiding portion cover 32 in the conversion turning portion 22, the insertion hole 52 and the bearing hole 26 are located on the extension line of the turning shaft 28. The posture is set, and in this posture, the conversion rotation portion 22 is brought close to the conversion member base portion 21 side, and the rotation shaft 28 is inserted into the insertion hole 52 and the bearing hole 26 so as to protrude inside the locking receiving support portion 25. . In addition, the regulating-side magnetic body 41 and the weight member 38 are accommodated in advance in the oscillating portion 35, and this oscillating portion 35 is accommodated in the locking receiving support portion 25 from the rear, and the shaft hole 36 is provided with a rotating shaft. 28, the swinging part 35 is connected to the ball guiding part 29 side (conversion turning part 22).

  And in order to change the position of the latch receiving part 44, the rocking | fluctuation part 35 is moved to the direction away from the cover part 25a, and the regulation side magnetic body 41 and the magnetic body holding | maintenance part 40, and the cover part 25a are spaced apart. A gap slightly wider than the protruding length of the positioning protrusion 54 is formed. At this time, the rotating shaft 28 is kept fitted in the shaft hole 36. Further, the latch receiving support portion 25 is pulled along the axial direction of the rotation shaft 28 to be separated from the back surface of the conversion member base portion 21, and the positioning projection 54 is detached from the positioning receiving portion 57 to be locked. The positioning state of the receiving support part 25) is released. If the positioning state of the latch receiving portion 44 is released, the latch receiving and supporting operation is performed by placing the flange portion 55 along the flange receiving groove portion 58 while the rotating shaft 28 is inserted through the insertion hole 52 and the bearing hole 26. The part 25 is rotated, and the lock receiving part 44 is set to a desired change posture to be changed (see FIG. 11B). Then, with the changed posture of the latch receiving portion 44 set, the latch receiving support portion 25 is pressed against the back surface of the conversion member base portion 21 and the positioning projection 54 is fitted to the positioning receiving portion 57 to lock the latch receiving support portion. 25 is assembled to the conversion member base portion 21, and the locking receiving portion 44 is positioned. Further, the swinging portion 35 is pushed into the lid portion 25 a along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 28, and the swinging portion 35 is sufficiently stored in the latch receiving support portion 25.

  Thus, the latch receiving position 44 can be rotated around the rotation shaft 28 by the latch receiving position changing mechanism 50 so that the position (posture) of the latch receiving section 44 can be changed. If the position can be determined by the posture, the setting of the stop posture of the ball guiding portion 29 and the setting of the flow direction of the game ball guided by the ball flow conversion member 15 can be easily adjusted. Therefore, the difficulty level in which the game ball enters the winning tool (the start winning port 8, the general start gate 9, the general winning port 12, the big winning port 13, etc.) after the game ball hits the ball flow converting member 15 is simply set. be able to.

  In the second embodiment, the locking receiving positioning portion 53 is configured by the positioning projection 54, the positioning receiving portion 57, the flange portion 55, and the flange receiving groove portion 58, but the present invention is not limited to this. The point is that the latch receiving and positioning portion 53 may have any configuration as long as the latch receiving support portion 25 can be locked to the conversion member base portion 21 and the positioning of the latch receiving portion 44 can be realized. For example, an edge-shaped positioning locking piece is projected outward from the outer peripheral surface of the locking receiving support portion 25, and a locking groove is provided in the circumferential direction of the rotary shaft 28 in the positioning locking piece. The locking receiving portion 44 may be positioned by opening the positioning engaging piece and the conversion member base portion 21 through a fixing member such as a screw. When the position of the latch receiving portion 44 is changed, the fastening member is loosened to release the positioning state, and the latch receiving support portion 25 is moved around the rotation shaft while the fastening member is passed through the locking groove. If the locking receiving portion 44 is moved to a desired position by rotating around the position 28, the fastening receiving member 44 may be tightened to position the locking receiving portion 44.

  By the way, in each said embodiment, although comprised so that the latching protrusion 39 contact | abutted only to the latching receiving part 44, this invention is not limited to this. For example, as in the third embodiment shown in FIG. 12, the locking projection 39 can be brought into contact with a position located between the pair of locking receiving portions 44 on the inner peripheral surface of the locking receiving support portion 25. An elastic protrusion 60 such as rubber or soft plastic may be provided so as to protrude toward the rotating shaft 28. In the ball flow down conversion member 15 in which such an elastic protrusion 60 is provided within the swing range of the locking receiving portion 44, the stop restricting mechanism 23 is moved by rotating the swing portion 35 around the rotation shaft 28. When trying to change the state, the locking protrusion 39 is brought into contact with the elastic protrusion 60 to allow or restrict the state change of the stop restricting mechanism 23.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 12 (a) and 12 (b), the swinging portion 35 is turned (swinged) in the second turning direction R2 to move the stop restricting mechanism 23 from the first locked state to the second engaging state. When trying to convert to the stop state, the locking protrusion 39 comes into contact with the elastic protrusion 60. Then, as shown in FIG. 12C, when the elastic protrusion 60 is elastically deformed by the pressing force of the locking protrusion 39 and pushed away, in other words, the rotation that swings the locking protrusion 39 (the rocking part 35). When the moment Ms is generated with a magnitude sufficient to elastically deform the elastic protrusion 60, the locking protrusion 39 is moved to the second receiving portion 44b side of the elastic protrusion 60 to move to the second receiving portion. Locking to the portion 44b (converting the stop regulating mechanism 23 to the second locking state) and further allowing the ball guiding portion 29 to be set to the second stop posture (see FIG. 12D). .

  On the other hand, when the elastic protrusion 60 cannot be sufficiently elastically deformed by the pressing force of the locking protrusion 39, in other words, the rotational moment Ms that swings the locking protrusion 39 (the rocking part 35) is the elastic protrusion. If it is generated in a size that is insufficient to elastically deform 60, the locking projection 39 is pushed back in the first rotation direction R1 by the elastic force of the elastic projection 60, and is engaged with the second receiving portion 44b. Stopping (converting the stop regulating mechanism 23 to the second locking state) and further preventing the ball guiding portion 29 from being set to the second stop posture. Therefore, the elastic protrusion 60 allows or restricts the change of the stop posture of the ball guiding portion 29 due to the strength of the impact of the game ball that has come into contact with the ball guiding portion 29 and the strength of the swinging force of the locking projection 39. Can be. From this, the conversion mode of the stop attitude | position of the ball | bowl guide | induction part 29 can be set complicated, and the interest of a game can be raised further. The elastic protrusion 60 is not limited to being provided on the conversion member base portion 21 (locking receiving support portion 25) in the first embodiment, and may be provided on the locking receiving support portion 25 in the second embodiment. .

  By the way, in each said embodiment, although the induction | guidance | derivation part cover 32 was formed with the opaque member, this invention is not limited to this. That is, as shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B, the guide portion cover 32 is formed of a transparent member, and the posture of the ball guide portion 29 can be visually recognized through the guide portion cover 32 from the front of the game board 1. May be. If the guiding part cover 32 is formed of a transparent member, the player can easily grasp the stopping posture of the ball guiding part 29 and, in turn, the direction in which the game ball that hits the ball guiding part 29 flows down. Can do.

  Moreover, in each said embodiment, although the conversion side magnetic body 31 was provided in the ball guidance | induction part 29, this invention is not limited to this. In short, if the conversion rotation part 22 is provided with the conversion side magnetic body 31 and an attractive force is applied between the conversion side magnetic body 31 and the restriction side magnetic body 41 to restrict the stop posture of the ball guiding part 29, Any configuration may be used. For example, as shown in FIGS. 14 (a) and 14 (b), a disk-shaped magnetic body mounting base 62 is provided on the opposite side of the rotation guide 22 to the guide cover 32 with the ball guide 29 interposed therebetween. The plurality of conversion-side magnetic bodies 63 may be arranged on the magnetic body mounting base 62 with the same phase shifted around the rotation shaft 28.

  Furthermore, in each said embodiment, although the spherical guide part 29 was comprised by the flat plate shape extended radially from the rotating shaft 28, this invention is not limited to this. The point is that the ball guiding part can be configured in any shape as long as it extends in the direction away from the pivot axis and can be guided in the flow direction by making the game ball flow down the game area 5 abutting. Also good. For example, the ball guiding portion may be formed in a curved plate shape extending in a direction away from the rotation shaft 28, or the ball guiding portion and the rotation shaft 28 may be spaced apart. And the number of arrangement | positioning of a spherical guide part is not limited to three shown by said each embodiment. The point is that the stop position of the ball guiding portion that is regulated in a state where the locking projection 39 and one locking receiving portion 44 are locked, and the locking projection 39 and the other locking receiving portion 44 are locked. The number of the ball guiding units may be set to any number as long as the direction of the game ball guided by the ball guiding unit can be changed by changing the stopping posture of the ball guiding unit regulated by the state.

  In each of the above embodiments, the locking receiving support portion 25 is formed of a cylindrical member, and the locking receiving portion 44 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the locking receiving support portion 25. It is not limited. In short, as long as the conversion member base portion 21 is provided with a pair of locking receiving portions 44, any configuration of locking receiving support portions may be provided. For example, an engagement receiving support portion having an arc cross section when viewed from the axial direction of the rotation shaft 28 is provided, and the engagement reception portion 44 is projected from the end of the engagement reception support portion toward the rotation shaft 28. May be. Further, when the position of the latch receiving portion 44 cannot be changed, the latch receiving support portion 44 may be provided so as to protrude directly from the back surface side of the conversion member base portion 21 without providing the latch receiving support portion.

  Furthermore, in each said embodiment, although the control side magnetic body 41 was comprised with the magnet and the conversion side magnetic body 31 was comprised with the iron piece which receives attraction from a magnet, this invention is not limited to this. In short, any configuration may be used as long as an attractive force is applied between the conversion-side magnetic body and the regulation-side magnetic body to restrict the stop posture of the conversion rotation portion 22. For example, the conversion-side magnetic body may be composed of a magnet, the regulation-side magnetic body may be composed of a material that receives an attractive force from the magnet (for example, iron), or the regulation-side magnetic body and the conversion-side magnetic body may be composed of magnets. May be set in a state of sucking each other.
